Erin Andrews Rejects Kiss From 50 Cent At Daytona

Fiddy greeted Andrews before the race with a hug and multiple kisses. The ESPN reporter tried to turn away but she failed to escape the singer’s grasp. The singer leaned in for multiple cheek kisses and Andrews just had to grimace through it.

The Erin Andrews / 50 Cent kiss quickly blew up on Twitter as people reposted images, gifs, and jokes about the awkward incident.

One user wrote: Did 50 cent just try and make out with Erin Andrews?

Another added: 50 Cent getting all creepy on Erin Andrews. Well that was awkward.

The mood at the Daytona 500 has been a little grim after yesterday’s crash so maybe 50 Cent was just trying to lift Andrews’ spirit with a little kiss. Unfortunately for the singer, Andrews was not having any of it.

50 Cent probably doesn’t get turned down by too many girls but when he does he makes sure that he’s on national TV.

Here’s a video of 50 Cent trying to kiss Erin Andrews.

SB Nation created a GIF of the now infamous kiss. Check out Fiddy’s smug grin at the end.

Hell no he had no right to try and kiss her. He thinks cause he is black he has the right to kiss that beautiful woman. He is lucky some badass at Nascar did not stick a foot up that A. Dee you look like a scumbag too!

I'm not a 50 cent fan, but all this hate seems a bit suspicious. Celebs kiss each other all the time, and I didn't hear this outrage when Adrien Brody sucked the unwilling life out of Halle Berry.
50 had his eyes closed the entire time and was obviously going for a cheek kiss, but Erin got all jumpy as hell for some reason, and moved her head 4-5 times back and forth in the 2 seconds he took to lean in. What we have here folks is three choices, either she has that Howie Mandel OCD thing, she's had relations with 50 and trying over hard to not let anyone know, or she is having a peculiar (not so peculiar) reaction to his complexion.

He's a scumbag because he forced a kiss on a woman who OBVIOUSLY didn't want it. Maybe that kind of behavior is "Gangsta" to you, but to other people (read: NORMAL PEOPLE), it's cringe-worthy and foul.

Jim Janssen, How do you think Monavie is going to feel when they find out one of their " Sales executives" Is making racist statements on Social media? Bet they are going to get a kick out of you when i forward them your nice little statement.

whoa Jim, a bit harsh there don't you think? Besides maybe you should go back to school in Germany, after all you are only a sales executive(nothing special). Lol!! SMH!! you get what you dish out douche!!

This is much to do about NOTHING! He wasn't trying to kiss this trick on the lips. He waited for her to turn her head and offer her cheek. Men kiss women on the cheek all the time. This woman is a nobody to him he was just being friendly. He does this all the time. If you loop the video it looks worse than what was actually happening.

Jim Janssen Sales Executive at MonaVie – I am one of your biggest clients and I will be informing my company and your company of your racists views and if you are not FIRED we will be dropping our lucrative account.

Lol erin made it more awkward then it really shouldve been. Some people just hug, but some go in for a kiss on the cheek. 50 cent was going for a kiss on the cheek the whole time, but she turned to him and made it look like he was aiming for the lips and then she realized what he was doing and turned her face so he could kiss her on the cheek. Now it was kinda awkward the way he kissed her, but then again he probably had a few drinks cause who goes to daytona sober lol. You guys are retarded. 50 still satys winning cause at the end of the day who's on the top 5 forbes list? Not any of yall, but 50s laughing his way to a billion…

For all you all know, Fiddy might have just had sex with her and thought it was cool and she might have been faking on T.V. because all he may be to her is a rich black stud. ZSo shut your mouths and mind your business. We haven't heard of him sexually assaulting anyone before, so why would he start now?

Alan Siemer hey scumbag he didn't impose on her you retard he went to kiss her on the cheek when she was looking at the camera she didn't notice until she looked at him. Then she turned so he could kiss her on the cheek. Your the idiot you scumbag

clearly 50 cent has probably been using drugs hes done nothing in the past 5 years and hes made enuff money to be high on prescription drugs like xanax and oxycodone which are real popular in the rap culture now… rappers aernt just drinking codeine cough syrup they are doing heroin and xanax and you can easily tell hes a steroid user – he was caught on camera sniffing cocaine years ago and clearly his demeanor and sound seems like hes high on opiates and/or benzodiazepines. Just chalk him up as a rich junky at this poiint he use to be clear minded and talented and also made right business decisions that let him have a net worth nearing a half of a billion dollars but now hes just made poor and irresponsible signings and business decisions including giving pauly d a lucrative contract he doesn't deserve and has made other business desicions of recent where he was advised not to but still went on with it because who can stop a rich drug addict from doing what they want and since his money will never run out he can pay as many doctors as much money as they want to keep feeding his drug addiction which is very clear even to those who are naive and clueless about drugs can easily tell just buy hearing his slurring speech and physical traits of droopy eyes and others that hes high on opiates and for someone that rich its not a problem until he starts IVing drugs if he ever decides to or hasn't already.

I don't think he planned to kiss her on the lips. You all just need people like him to make a mistake, so you can point and call him a bad guy. Half of you are UN-intelligent, and the other half are racist.

So this is blown way out of proportion. It looks like he went to kiss her on the cheek and she turned towards him and then turned away. It's not uncommon when greeting someone to kiss on the cheek. What I don't get is all the bigoted statements? Is it because he's black and she's white? Or because he's a rapper? Either way shame on you! I get creepy white men trying to kiss me all the time while at work, I don't see black guys getting all racist about it.

you guys have to be kidding, all the hateful comments….i looked at some of you guys Facebook, there is clearly a generation gap. What you see on T.V is NOT reality…don't believe any of it….never thought I would have to say that to my elders.

Certain people are used to giving each other cheek to cheek kisses where the lips do not touch the cheek. It appears fifty was going for that at first but then got nervous at the awkward moment when Erin pulled away and went in for a full on kiss on the cheek. His nervous smile at the end indicates his embarrassment. People have to remember that not everyone feels comfortable with any kind of direct skin to skin contact with strangers.

Jim Janssen…seriously? leave Mexicans alone bro…theres no point…ive never seen anyone master two languages as fast as a spanish person. You have to respect that, you learn spanish Jim your sales at MonaVie will double

all over the world men and women kiss no the cheek!! also nothing was bad about what he did,the erin gave him her cheek which is what many normal people from all over the world do when they greet one another.IDIOT!!!

Actually I believe it's closer to a half a billion. but point taken. She was just being rude, everybody kisses on the cheek, it's a very common greeting and he wasn't being crude or vile about it. Seems like he was just being friendly

They must not be teaching you proper grammar at your high school. Stay in school until you learn the basics of English grammar. This country doesn't need uneducated individuals like you running around.

Remember Shirley this is NASCAR and you know what kind of crowd is posting here.Lets face it the way the scumbag word is being thrown around it might as well be the "N" word. I thought Erin was a grownup and if she was needing help could actually say NO and yell for help.Worst case scenario she will sue him.It is all on film.Hard to disprove this

They must not teach proper English grammar at Lindhurst High School. Stay in school until you learn the basics of English grammar. This country doesn't more uneducated individuals like you running around.

If it was me, I would have just bump shoulders with her like a dude after she done tried to make me look silly. She never would have done that to me. From now on she ought to just greet people by shaking hands. And after all, she created the scene, and then still gave up a kiss like a trick! #maybe her right side her bad side (lol) ##people stop hating cause she stuck her cheek out there for that.

If you can read and understand the previous postings of individuals as well as my posting that is not what I said. I said the way it was being used. What is the basis for calling him a scumbag? I do not like him but because I can see it for what it is.She is grown and I think can handle herself……With all these comments are we looking at the situation or are we looking at color.If it was eminem would people be acting the same way.The manner by which people are posting comments some of these people would actually want him lynched.

Its funny to her the word scumbag be replaced for the word these people really want to use. If Fiddy (though I'm not a fan of his) should be arrested for (lmao) sexual assault for attempting to kiss Erin, then I guess Adrien Brody should get life without parole for grabbing Halle Berry at the Oscars and forcing his sloppy wet kisses on her while she was trying to pull away. Since Aliving100 wanted to make it sound like 50 did it because he was black I guess since Adriens white he thinks he can put sloppy wet kisses on any black girl he chooses.

We all know black people don't know how to act in public this is a perfect example. by they way did anybody see the black behavior by black youths at the mall in Chicago yesterday. 19 arrested I rest my case.

MacJames Flynn So you are saying that a woman is being rude by not accepting this black punts advance toward her? She is not under any obligation to kiss this idiot no matter how important he or you thinks he is. Maybe if your father would have stayed around after you were born you would have learned this basic rule about life out side the ghetto you looser.

it didn't look like a snub. It looks like Erin was just trying to turn her cheek, for a peck by fiddy. She just turned the wrong way, initially. it was just a peck on thhe cheek, geez…..lighten up peeps…

Wow. That was awkward indeed. But its not clear from the angle where those lips were aimed. When going in for a hug or a peck you go aim cheek to cheek which is disarming. Then, when your commitment is met, you can always turn in and kiss the neck, cheek, what have you. Did Fiddy go in lips blazin?

let one of us go to one of their cultural events and try rubbing up on a black chick and see what happens! That "nickel bag" or whatever his name is better be thankful he's a "star" or we may have seen a replay of Altamont in the center track @ Daytona International Speedway!

MacJames Flynn SHE was rude? You've got that backwards……….He's a fucking NIGGER and apparently she didn't want his nasty fat lips on her. That's HER RIGHT to decide who gets it and who doesn't. Some of those Good Ol' Boys should have beat his black ass.

Shirley Logan Higgs No he's not kidding. Actually any asshole who calls himself FITTY CENT should have his ass kicked. Erin should have summoned the cops……..I bet they would have found a gun on that felonious bastard.

Note to author of this article – Erin Andrews works for Fox Sports now – not ESPN. I know the failed pass at Erin Andrews got you all excited, but please try to check your facts before posting. It's not hard. Here's I'll even help you – the mic in the picture says "FOX". You're welcome.

I bet that made the rednecks get hotter than a race cars exhaust pipe. She probably friendly with 50 but america is still a country in which a third of its population is racist, and she probably didn't want to be seen as a n—-r loving reporter to avoid a negative impact on her career. This is 2013, but dem boys still fear the black mandingo more than a gun!

Lol….fifty cents(not the rapper) is probably worth more than all the rednecks riled up by a black man trying to kiss a white woman! Whats even funnier is the black woman in the background behind 50 like what is he doing kissing that white woman? Prolly his ho for the day.

If she is going to go NASCAR, then she needs to unfreeze herself. She is with the Bubbas now, and they like to kiss and hug. These are good ole boys, 50 cent, well he was just being 50 cent. He is in reality a good guy. He does alot for charities and not his own. She needs to get over it. He is not stalking or following her to hotels, and the like. She is just to prissy for NASCAR.

Where is the news here? I don't think what he did was that far out of bounds…since a kiss on the check is common place for friends who know each other. Does Erin and 50 actually know each other? It looks to me like she was inviting him over and he thought a kiss on the cheek was appropriate. This is not about a black/white thing. In many cultures men kiss other men on the cheek.

People you need to get over your OBVIOUS issues here. There was NO crime here and people are making a big deal out of nothing. He caught her off guard and if she wasnt broadcasting, the situation may have been different, i.e., less awkard.

lol…come on this thing happen all the time in a very busy environment, sometimes inside a night club, she wasn't refusing the kiss at all, it was almost going the wrong way because she was busy talking and moving at thesame time, i sometimes go through something like this whereby you will almost kiss mouth to mouth instead of both cheeks…lol…media misrepresentation.

OK, I could be nuts here, but I'm going to go out on a limb. Is it me, or does it seem that she was walking, talking and focused on finding Danica when 50 coming up to her kind of took her by surprise? It seemed (to me anyway) that as she was turning, he was there and the kiss would've been awkward because it would've landed on her lips, so she cordially and diplomatically turned her face so he could kiss her on her cheek. I don't think she dissed him and I don't think he got creepy…then. Where I think it got weird was when he was openly checking out her backside as she continued to walk and he was behind her.

I call racist on Carol E Craver! We rednecks eat and drink more then just that! We eat burgers,chips,fries, fried chicken and we drink coke,coffee, and more. We are a very diverse group of people and we aint really all that racist lol I many friends of different race. Don't believe everything you see on TV.

damn, this is 2013, not 1965! so, he is black, and we are white.we all need to stick with our own color, but we are not everybody.i agree it could have been done a different way, but it happen.he is black, and he is gods son.she is white, and she is gods girl.now, is god your father? if so, all is your brothers, and sisters.now, you need to say a prayer for everyone! I was in vietnam 2 years, and they protected me, and I protected them, one day we could all need one another.

Carol if that had been a white due trying to plant one on a black female reporter not only would he be villified he would be a pariah and no-one would hire him anywhere. If Joe Montana had tried that on a black woman Broadway Joe would be the most hated ex-FB hero ever.

The media is making it worst than it is. If she didn't want to be bothered she wouldn't have let him tag along on her search for Danica Patrick. She commented since we didn't find Danica glad we run into 50 Cent. I just some media don't want to show the whole video huh!

All these "RUDE" comments are not necessary. This is another example of the media cherry picking something to get a "sensational" story. -_- So I watched this event live as it happened. Erin didn't know she was going to see him. She was walking down pit row looking for Danica Patrick do to an interview. When she literally "bumped" into 50. He was just as surprised to see her as she was him. He did lean in to greet her but she needed to keep moving for the live shot. So that's why she turned her cheek and even said something like I gotta keep moving. So he actually said ok, I’ll come with you and walked right with her. She wasn't intentionally being rude or mean to him she was doing her job for Fox Sports. Which was to try and get Danica before the race. She didn't even get the pre-race interview, because Danica wasn't at her car once Erin got there. But that part didn’t make the cut of the “story”! It's sad how many of you are so quick to jump on that "hate" bandwagon!

The real question is what was half a dollar doing at the Daytona 500? Just because you are worth so much money does not give anyone the right to FORCE! and he did FORCE that kiss on her. Maybe he should go kiss Joan Rivers and keep endorsing that SK drink…..

wHAT YOU ASSHOLES DON'T KNOW is 50 cent and Erin are cool with each other and 50 cent kiss her all the time, she was just holding the mic and she was live on air, 50 cent greeted her like he always do with a Kiss you assholes.

Hey Five cent or whatever your name is, SHE IS NOT INTERESTED. That was like watching a rape in slow motion. She wanted no part of that parasite, then he follows/stalks her through the crowd. Creepy. Then later he was shown NOT taking his hat of during the National Anthem. Fiddy Cent = TRASH. Uncalled for. I'm sure there will be B.S. accusations against Erin Andrews for "racism" which is absurd. Because he's black he gets to grope whomever he wants without her having a say in it? Erin, you should have slapped him in the face. I'm sure a few hundred thousand rednecks would have had your back.

Being famous does not give anyone the right to force advances including a kiss. YOUNG WOMEN SHOULDN'T GIVE THEMSELVES AWAY EVEN IF THE TAKER IS RICH AND FAMOUS. And cent is one, one penny. Fifty is plural, more than one; fifty pennies. Shouldn't 50 Cent be corrected to 50 Cents?

MacJames Flynn In today's world with flu abounding and other not wanted germs I would not let a stranger kiss me on the cheek. It is common in Middle Eastern countries, but here, a handshake will suffice with sanitizer afterwards. She wasn't rude. She has the right to not be kissed by anyone. Who knows where a person's mouth, or hands, have been??

And here I thought it was all about women not being abused…forced to give into unwanted sexual advances including kisses on the cheek!! It isn't the 'norm' here in the USA. Only among folks who have met previously and know each other!! If I say 'can't touch this…you don't touch!!" Racism and culture be damned. Get over it!!

@ Char, how can you not see the racism from some of the people here? you are practicing denial because you want to avoid the topic of racial discrimination. You are no different from the open racists….except that you are systematically attacking other groups instead of doing it openly. BTW in my culture ( hispanic) culture it is normal to kiss another person on the cheek.

I don't blame her for not kissing him however I do mind that all these racist comment people sayin I wouldn't kiss that ape or nigger is kinda rude of yall this is 2013 and still got rude ass people taking racist stuff for all yall racists comment know your history before you start taking bout nigger this and that because I promise if one of your white people say that in front of my face I beat the hell outta you but it not all white people that not racist you know who you are.

You all are a bunch of morons…i would say somthing else but this is a public site. your deaf, dumb and blind. She started out facing the camera, her cheek towards 50, then her head turn away from the camera….and back again , stopped in the middle, then to the front, her cheek facing 50, again. realizing the 'peck on the cheek'…they both hesitate for that split second, then she finished her turn and the kiss on the cheek was completed. Don't say YOU NEVER experienced something like that….you lying.
